Do People Marry Later in Life Compare Then and Now
An analysis from Somerset House shows average marrying ages for bachelors, spinsters, widowers, and widows in 1858 and 1899, with 1809 totals for husbands and wives. It concludes there has been little overall shift in age at marriage, despite periods of fewer weddings or older brides and grooms.
